Core Tip Pirfenidone is commonly used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in its early stages, but it has also demonstrated a notable impact on the disease in its advanced stages. In individuals with IPF who had substantial deterioration of their lung function, pirfenidone had a similar degree of efficacy. Pirfenidone appears to be safe when given to patients with advanced IPF, and it has a favorable benefit-risk profile, making it an appropriate treatment option for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
